Certification Regarding Eligibility
To Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance
In accordance with Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974
(19 USC 2273) as amended by the Omnibus Trade and Competitiveness
Act of 1988 (P. L. 100-418), the Department of Labor herein
presents the results of an investigation regarding certification
of eligibility to apply for worker adjustment assistance.
In order to make an affirmative determination and issue a
certification of eligibility to apply for adjustment assistance
each of the group eligibility requirements of Section 222 of the
Act must be met. It is determined in this case that all of the
requirements have been met.
The investigation was initiated on February 19, 2002 in
response to a petition filed by a company official on behalf of
workers at Emerson Electric Company, Daniel Measurement and
Control, Statesboro, Georgia. The workers are engaged in
activity related to the production of valves and turbines.
The investigation revealed that the subject company has
replaced production of valves and turbines with import purchases.
Currently, there is a NAFTA-TAA petition investigation
pending on behalf of the workers of Emerson Electric Company,
Daniel Measurement and Control, Statesboro, Georgia, NAFTA-5794.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I conclude that increases of imports of articles
like or directly competitive with those produced at Emerson
Electric Company, Daniel Measurement and Control, Statesboro,
Georgia, contributed importantly to the decline in sales and
production and to the total or partial separation of workers of
that firm. In accordance with the provisions of the Act, I make
the following certification:
"All workers of Emerson Electric Company, Daniel Measurement
and Control, Statesboro, Georgia, engaged in the production
of valves and turbines, who are partially or totally
separated from employment on or after January 21, 2001,
through two years from the date of certification are
eligible to apply for adjustment assistance under Section
223 of the Trade Act of 1974."

Signed in Washington, D. C. this 9th day of April 2002.
